University of Tennessee Men’s Basketball to Host Open Intrasquad Scrimmage

Knoxville, TN, September 30, 2026 —

The University of Tennessee men’s basketball program has announced an upcoming open intrasquad scrimmage. The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, October 3rd, at the Food City Center.

This scrimmage will feature members of the current University of Tennessee men’s basketball team competing against each other. Intrasquad scrimmages are typically practice games designed to simulate game conditions and allow coaches to evaluate player performance, team strategies, and overall readiness ahead of the competitive season. It serves as a final tune-up before official games begin.

Fans will have the opportunity to attend the event and get a first look at the team’s roster and play style for the upcoming season. The university has confirmed that admission to the intrasquad scrimmage is free for all attendees.

The Food City Center is the home venue for the University of Tennessee’s men’s basketball team. Specific game times for the scrimmage were not provided in the announcement.

This event offers a low-stakes environment for players to gain experience and for supporters to engage with the team in a more informal setting than a regular season game. The exact details regarding start time and any specific fan access protocols were not immediately available.
